It is with the utmost regret we inform our r4aders, that two Messengers arrived this morning ip Downing•street, With intelligence of a most dis- astrows mstwe 11:011] Spain. It appears that a Battle taken place between the finny qnder th command of Gener,al CA,STA- NOS and the French, in which ate former was corn- pletely defeited, We are not yet in . posser,zi9 . of the particulars of this unfortnnate event, but its consequences will, we fear, be of the most sqriotts nature. All the Epaqh,h,..Arnilies have been defeated•and if the vi&ory over CASTANOS be as decisive as we have reason to apprehend it is, it will be almost impossi- the Spaniards to attempt to make a stand against their Invaders, except in the defence of the passes of ierra AJoren The inleilig'ence ftoin the - Army of thq Marquis The PE ROMANA is rather more . - satisfaaory. appears, Las colleted a force ,of above tO,OOO - men, and.had taken a very, strong po'sition. Sir J.; Fl NMOORE remained, according to the last ac- iounts, at Salamanca, and Sir yip BAIRD at Asti;rza but there can be littl2'doubt . that, in cone Sequence of the defeat of General CASTANCS, they be under the necessity of retreating.

" SPANIAKIIS—The Central Junta of 'Government of the Kingdom, after having taken all measutes in their power to defeat the enemy, who, continuing_ his attacks, had advanced into the neighbourhood. of 'Somosierra, addresses you for the purpose of put= ting you on your guard againftt the intrigues with which the perfidious agents of NAPOLEON en deavours to alarm and deceive you,- by increasing the number of the enemy's troops, who hardly amount to 8000 men, according to the reports made Ily.the Generals whom_ the Junta has charged with, the defence of the inapertant,pOstof Guadanama. ." Inhabitants of Madrid, the country stands in need of your exertions. Your circumspeEtionand . patriotisru are the bulwarks on which it chiefly rests its defence ; the Junta trusts that you, will know how to support the dispositions of your Cap tain-Genera), and of the Tribunal of -yi g ilance, in order to discover and deliver to the inexorable arm of the law, all traitors, who will now exert them selves more than ever to introduce disorder, and . paralize the aelivity with which you most be present ,at all points which will be pointed out to, you, bearing in mind the 2d dsy of May,' When, deprived of all assistance; and even of. the liberty to defend yourselves, you struck the whole Nation with astonishment by youi• loyalty and valour. , " The Central Junta feel at a loss to express to you the confidence and tho enthusiasm with Which the soldiers of the Nation prepare. themselves to beat the enemies of our beloved Sovereign DI WAND VII. of our country and our religion ; our Allies, the English, convincel'of . the justice of the cause we defend, and animated by the same enthusi asm, are united and ready to march to the Escurial, where they are at present, to reinforce the position chosen by our wise General, and support the opel-a lion of our van,which must already have commenced to engage the slaves of the Tyrant - who oppresses, all nations. Spaniards, cowardice, inspired by treason, will no douht try means to augment the dangers, exagge rated by the ill-disposed, 'in 9rder to frustrate the measures pursued by the Junta, which places im plicit confidence in your unexampled fidelity apd obedience. By order of the Supretile Junta, " MARTIN DR GARAY." " Royal Palace of Aranjuez. the zest Nov. 184." Nov.- 2.—We -have here but few Eng lish troops, and . the number Will within a few days be still .further diminished, by the march of two battalions, who are going to Oporto. The English auxiliary army in Spain will, it is expeCted, next month amount' to 50,000 effective men. It is here commonly reported that General JUNOT has been carried to England, for having fired a pistol at the CoMmander of the Enzlith Frigate on board of ,which he sailed. This singular repOrt, however, requires confirmation. • THE Meeting that is to take place to-morrow in the City, fur the purpose of entering into a - , Sub scription for clotbing the heroi; Soldiers of Spain, who are so gloriously ezertiog themselves in resisting the attempt of an execrable Tyrant. to enslave the:n, is one of those measures that naturally emanate from the British charataer, and deserves to be recorded in' the annals of our Country. We mentioned a strik ing instance of generosity in support of this Subscrip tion yesterday,- shewn by a- Na,leman, the iiglit before, in ca; :w 4, the laskiaiiable club: ~,t tine West end of the town. Snell an example - does so much Amnonr to tie donor, that we are sorry we are . not at present permitted to Mention his name,-L But our Readers may rely on the fad, and we trust • that this example will be followed by every person tapable of feeling the value of patriditiri, loyally, -and valour: - --Never. was there-a cause more inte resting to human nature than that in which the Spaniards are now engaged. The -Despot who has threatened to reduce them to bondage, would doubt less make them feel the utmost force of his ven geance, if he should finally- succeed in his diabolical : attempt. His design is carried on bya soldiery who 'may be considered as hordes of, banditti, burning for plunder, aid ready to commit, the most. horrible enormities, ,in order to gratify their passions, which have been rendered more furious by indulgence. Is it not then an imperious duty in all who have the proper feelings of humanity, to come forward and contribute, according to their means, in order to avert such horrors from falling on so noble anti - so intrepid a . Veople as the SpaniardS liaVe proved them- ! . selvessfrom the- moment when the Corsican Tyrant threw pilaw. mask. ? None should be deterred froin biding so glorionS a cause, by' the smallness of the snip to which their situation would necessarily limit their benevolence. Tht"widow'srnite, on such an occasion, , wiltbe readily accepted, and will be ac companied by -the- blessings of Heaven. The pleasing consciousness of having given a degree.of support to so righte°us a cause, will be an abundant reward to every virtuous mind. But -it is not with relation to Spain alone, that •we ought to support its cause at this most awful and interesting 'cri sis, for if the Tyrant should triumph over that Country, all his vengeance will then be direer ed towards us; so that, in fad, we may be - said to. he fighting for ourselves as 'well as for the oppressed Spaniards ;" and We. are "imperiously re, - quired, by a regard to, self.defence„ to strain'everY nerve in their behalf. To-morrow, then, we hail -as, a proud day, in which there will doubtless be p magnificent display of the British character, mini fested in the generous zeal of 'people from all parts -of this great city, the capital . of the civilized world, to. support a cause which is recommended by every consideration of interest and humanity, as - well as by, all those elevated feelings which do honour to the human heart.
